With travel increasing this Thanksgiving holiday, officials are advising people to prepare ahead to ensure they make it safely to their final destination.
Heidi Dettmer, director of marketing for AAA Washington, said more than 81 million people nationwide are expected to travel this year, a 2% increase from last year. About 90% of those travelers are expected to drive, which will contribute to increased delays on the roads. Airports are also anticipating high volumes, she said.
